MalyssaSue 65 Posted January 1, 2013 Does anyone feel like they might have hit a little bit of depression after surgery. Maybe with all that's happened to us? I feel like I've been to short with some people and getting annoyed easily. Is anyone else feeling this way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted January 1, 2013 It's the hormones being released in the fat... We all go thru it... Hang in there 1 MalyssaSue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bakawaka 108 Posted January 1, 2013 I think that it is normal. It could also be from the physical pain being experienced during recovery. Also, we are making a lot of changes in our lifestyles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jodimc 117 Posted January 2, 2013 Same here. I find myself resenting people who can eat what they want right now. It isn't even so much the food that bothers me, just the fact that I had to go through this hell when some people seem to eat and eat and stay thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted January 2, 2013 I cry at the drop of a hat. Plus, I am letting myself get overwhelmed by others losing more/faster then me. Logically I am OK with it but deep down it is bothering me. 1 mizzlaw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted January 2, 2013 I have suffered from depression for many many years and take prozac every day. But this after surgery is kinda different. Like out of the blue for no reason you just feel down and cranky and sad. I think it must have something to do with the hormones in our fat. Or something. Cause I will find myself just looking out the window feeling hopeless and I think what the heck is wrong with you, you should be so happy and you are feeling like this. It is a bummer. I want to be happy and healthy so bad. 1 sky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikkiba75 276 Posted January 4, 2013 I'm seeing a therapist, because of the mood swings and what my nurse called food remorse ( missing food amounts) so don't be ashamed to talk to someone it helps Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
